Time to call it done.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I became a skydiver and really started acting like a child. But a hard opening,(broken back) a slippery set of stairs (broken femur) and arthritis have rendered me no longer fit to fly. I fought the idea of quitting for a long time. I'll keep my USPA membership but golf will have to do from now on. I'll post my gear for sell today.

Why not keep the rig just in case you change your mind?

Damn, Quinton, I'm sorry to hear that. We've sure had some fun times jumping together. But I know you have plenty of other activities with which to keep yourself entertained and challenged, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

What he said. Take care, Quinton -- there are bunches and bunches of enjoyable things to do out there, and I hope you enjoy all of the ones that you try.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I like my canopy...

I don't know you, Quinton, but I know it's a hard decision. Skydiving isn't just about being in the sky.

Good luck - and keep your head down and your left arm straight!

Sorry to hear it Quinton, but unless y'all moved, you DO still have plenty of fishing really nearby. Good luck with the links sticks!!

As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

What about a powered parachute with trike gear?

Never give up.
